Freetown, 11th December 2025- In a joint task force operation, led by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Abdulia Bundu alias Eastern Man and eleven others have been arrested with Kush, Cocaine and other harmful substances.

Speaking at a press briefing at the Murray Town Barracks, Director NDLEA, Andrew Kaikai said East End Man had been a notorious Drug dealer who had been in hiding for months. According to the Director, sometime last year, when the national task force raided Lumley, Bundu and cohorts physically attacked a military personnel.

He further said sometime ago, after he had been arrested, a video of him went viral where he was seen publicly confirming his selling of Kush and Cocaine, saying he would stop selling the drugs.

“Today, the Special Task Force went out on a raid and arrested East End Man in his hideout at Kamayama,” Kaikai said.

He was caught with 52 packs of cocaine and also 12 bonkers used in sniffing the drug. Kaikai revealed that East End Man was also arrested with a spiritual charm locally known as ‘juju’.

Eleven others, including seven female and four male – were arrested with over 2,982 wraps of Kush and several boxes of 250 milligram Tramadol.

The Task Force seized over 31 parcels and over 100 wraps of Canabi Sativa known as ‘Jamba’, a chemical called ‘Disel’ mixed with Kush and 6 Blenders used in Kush processing.

Kaikai revealed that the Special Task Force had an Intel of a suspected drug dealer known as ‘Bash’ who escaped arrest. However, he continued that they seized a Nissan and Safe which were seen in his compound.

In his conclusion, Kaikai said the suspects and exhibits would be transferred to the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU) for prosecution.
